Yeah, and he didn't use the name "The Doctor" because that is a promise to save people and he didn't, he killed. It's why he isn't spoken about, the Doctor is too ashamed of his past self. Matt Smith technically is #12.

I was talking about 10.5 who was born from the Doctor's hand in Journey's End :p He was born into a war, but nothing like the one John Hurt's Doctor might have been born into.

John Hurt is like the "unspoken of" Doctor that existed between Paul McGann (8) and Christopher Eccleston (9) and was the Doctor that took part in the time war but he didn't go as the name "the Doctor" because he was a killer (it was a war) and the Doctor is ashamed of his former self and is why he's been wiped from memory. Something along those lines, we'll find out in November the exact details.

ohhhhhhh so the name he went as is the name they wanna know or not? :suspect:

No the name they wanted to know was The Doctor's true name (i.e.. the name he was born with). It was that name which opened his tomb, and gave the Great Intelligence access to the Doctor's timestream.

The Doctor was a title he gave himself because it's a name that means to do good and save people etc.

John Hurt's doctor wasn't one of the faces Clara saw because he somehow locked him away because he broke the promise that the name "Doctor" was supposed to signify. So either, he was the Doctor who fought in the Time War and committed mass genocide or as another poster suggested McGann fought in the war, resulting in a regeneration into Hurt who then (out of being born into war) did something terrible that the Doctor wants to block out.

So, effectively his "greatest secret revealed" wasn't his name like everyone thought but this missing Doctor in the form of John Hurt.

That's my understanding anyway. :D

Smithy 19-05-2013 09:47 PM
ohhhhhh thanks for clearing it up :D

Clara ruins DR Who more than anything else for me. I can't take to her at all.

DigitalSid 01-06-2013 12:18 PM
Just realised I haven't commented in here on TNOD (or I think the lat few episodes), loved The Crimson Horror, thought Nightmare In Silver was **** (but like the changes they'd done to the Cybermen, particularly their new adaptability), and really loved The Name Of The Doctor.

MATT SMITH, DAVID TENNANT AND JOHN HURT TO FACE OFF AGAINST DALEKS IN 50th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

The Doctors, Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt will battle the deadly Daleks, the BBC announces today, in the show’s 50th anniversary special.

Returning to BBC One on 23 November the highly anticipated adventure will star: Matt Smith; Jenna Coleman; David Tennant; Billie Piper; John Hurt and Joanna Page. In a surprise twist in the recent series finale it was revealed John Hurt would be playing a Doctor, alongside Smith and Tennant.

The Daleks are the second monster to be announced for the 50th and will join the shape shifting Zygons, which have only appeared in the show once before in 1975. The Daleks were one of the first monsters to terrify audiences in 1963, 50 years ago, cementing their place in British popular culture.

Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer, said:

“The Doctor once said that you can judge a man by the quality of his enemies, so it’s fitting that for this very special episode, he should be facing the greatest enemies of all.”

The 50th anniversary episode was shot earlier this year at BBC Cymru Wales’ Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff and across South Wales. Filming also took place in iconic London locations the Tower of London and Trafalgar Square for a huge stunt, which saw Matt Smith dangling from a TARDIS alongside Nelson’s Column.

We should of had the trailer for the 50th after Comic Con :idc:

Scarlett. 03-08-2013 08:42 PM
So it sounds that Peter guy is likely gonna be the Doctor, would be interesting having an older actor in the role.

BBfanUSA 04-08-2013 04:14 PM
